I just hand deleted 818 spam comments that were made in the last 24 hours. Actually, technically, I hand saved every comment that's been made that isn't spam, because that way I only had to check 250 little checkboxes instead of the other 818.
No one wants to play poker on your website.
No one wants your mp3s.
No one wants your diet pills.
No one wants your cheap any kind of pills.
No one gives a rat's tit about spam except for those that have to delete it.
I think you'd get more business from a message in a bottle than 818 robots on my blog.
If the site explodes today, it's because I was probably trying to install some kind of spam-blocker on the server. Last time I got fed up with the bullshit comments, I went for the newest version of Movable Type and it's built in spam blockers, but lost my entire site's layout and template while trying to transfer over. In the end, I never got the new Movable Type working AND the ONLY reason the site wasn't lost forever was because Internet Explorer had cached the stylesheet the last time I'd been on it.
Until I can get some system in place, comments will require my approval. I check my stuff often, so no big deal.
